I'd be concerned for my job if I was Charlie Haas (I had forgot he was still employed) or The Brian Kendrick (he's already got heat on him).
The rest I think will be ok....and I'm glad that ECW got some new talent in the draft. Zeke should be teamed up with Henry & Atlas (not a new nation!). And obviously Lil Bulldog should be put with Kidd & Nattie.

Honestly.
I forgot Sim Snuka was still on the roster.

I think Hawkins, Jesse and Zeke are the most in danger.

I'm hoping for this: THE Kendrick is running round backstage. He's just got on the bad side of The Big Show. He runs into a room out of sight where he stumbles across The Noble one alongside The Festus. Noble: Dang nabbit Brian you look mored shaken then a barrel of weasels tipped over a ravine. Now calm down an help me figure out what to do with this big dumbass who's taken a seat in Jamie Noble's locker room. Brian: .... Wha- Hey listen, that's THE Brian Kendrick to you. But listen, you gotta hide me. Zeke's stuck on ECW and I've got Big Show after me. I just need some time to think of a plan. Noble: Hold your horses buddy. Your new around here so let me set ya straight. Raw is Jamie Noble's turf. Ain't nobody dumb enough to mess with me. I'll tell this Big ol tub o lard what he's dealing with. Noble: Now listen here partner! You don't come barging into Jamie Noble's dressing room unannounced like-
Noble: What in tarnation?
[Show has Kendrick pinned up to the wall] Brian: RING IT JAMIE! RING IT! [Jamie rings the bell. Festus shoots up and thanks to capturing him off gaurd, is able to beat Big Show. He turns towards the regrouped Kendrick and Noble and goes to attack. Panicked, Jamie rings the bell again stopping Festus just inches away]
Brian: ... That was close. Jamie: Hey boy, there's a note. "To all them Raw fellas. Please look after Festus for me as he shows Raw the face of a real man. I packed Festus's favourite bell and his favourite book." [Brian pulls out "The Catcher in the Rye", double checking on Festus] Jamie: "I hope to see Festus come Summerslam time. Your buddy, Jessie."
[Brian and Jamie look at each other. Then at the bell. Then at Festus. Then at each other.] Brian: Jamie. I think I got myself a plan.
I say you fail, sir, for using Catcher in the Rye as opposed to the proper literary accompaniment to Jesse and Festus, John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. And why do people think that Festus and Hornswaggle, who are massively over with kids, would be endeavored. Kids/families/casual fans still are a target demographic, certainly more than we the internet fans are. The split will allow those involved to go their separate ways. Also, Finlay might be nearing retirement and a move backstage (for cripes sake, half the diva roster needs him).

Reunited Londrick vs MCMG, book it.
Doesn't look good for Gabriel, if he goes I don't think it's fair, he didn't get much of a chance.

I'm more of the mind that Regal and Finlay are retiring pretty soon, hence why Layla and Hornswoggle were drafted away. The Twins are probably gonna be around a little while as a pressure valve when Mickie and Kelly aren't wrestling on TV. Both Edgeheads are probably going.
Smackdown is overloaded with face divas, so someone is for the chop, with Candice as my most likely bet. We know about Kennedy, so there's another

* Ken Kennedy: I don't think he be released. He likely retire before that happens. But if he comes back he should be mid card title picture at less. * Shad Gaspard: Him and JTG are two over to be released again. With the lack of Tag teams they should stay. * Alicia Fox: Drafted from ECW to Smackdown * One Half of the Unified Tag Team Champions Primo Colon: Safe for sure. He and Carlito are champion and have had great matches. Primo got Carlito to step it up. * Mike Knox: He should be ok. Big man that Vince Likes. Smackdown could be his time. * Ezekiel Jackson: Time will tell but he a big man with Potential. So he will get a shot. * Nikki Bella: Bella twins are likely to stay around. * Candice Michelle: Who knows. Her shoulder may make her think retirement so who knows. * Zack Ryder: I'm more worried about Hawkins who didn't get moved. * Chavo Guerrero: Guerrero is safe because he is a Guerrero and plus how over as a heel Vickie is. * Ricky Ortiz: I don't know about this guy. * Layla: She likely be doing something. But who knows. * Hornswoggle: Drafted from ECW to Raw * DH Smith: Teaming with Tyson Kidd likely. With Natalya along side them as the ECW Tag Team. * John Morrison: To good of a talent to be released as is very over. I'm sure he be facing Rey soon enough in the I-C title picture. * One Half of the Unified Tag Team Champions Carlito Colon: See Primo * Natalya: See Smith. * Festus: No idea what is going to happen with him. Big guy with some talent. I hope a gimmick makeover. * JTG: See Shad * Dolph Ziggler: I don't know about him either. He could be a midcarder on Smackdown. * THE Brian Kendrick: Be interesting as a solo guy. He was getting pushed. * Charlie Haas:I hope we will see him teaming with Shelton to help fix the lack of Tag Team problems. * Hurricane Helms: He safe I think. With Morrison gone on ECW. He should have a pretty big role on ECW. * Brie Bella: See Nikki
I'm more conserned about Hawkins and Jesse then there partners.

Sadly, I see Cena being gone by or before 2010. After being booked to win the belt at Mania just to lose it three weeks later to Edge, there's pretty much nowhere else for him to go. Once you take a FACE and make him a transitional champion, only two things can happen. He turns (which the WWE refuses to do because he sells merch and is big with kids) or he's let go after being mired in midcard hell so that his name value drops so that other promotions are less willing to put them on the main events if they make the jump to another company.
If you look at it logically, most faces who become transitional champs do NOT last long in the company at all. Heels by contrast, can be transitional champs and stay in a company for YEARS.

I'd say The Bella twins are safe for now. However Jesse isnt. I also have a bad feeling for Katie Lea and Paul Burchill however both would do well on TNA.

Hopefully, whoever it was who had the bright idea to book Kid Rock to go 10 minutes+ at Wrestlemania. Sadly, I see Cena being gone by or before 2010.

If you look at it logically, most faces who become transitional champs do NOT last long in the company at all. Heels by contrast, can be transitional champs and stay in a company for YEARS. Who said Cena was losing to Edge? You act like it's a forgone conclusion. Why the hell would the WWE be fazing Cena out? Has his drawing power wained that much?

I would be much more secure about The Brian Kendricks position if he would have stayed on Smackdown, or was sent to ECW.
If he would have stayed on Smackdown there would have have been a possibility of fued with CM Punk and/or union with tag team specialist John Morrison. On ECW, he could have been thrown in a championship contention against Christian.
But, I don't see anything for him to do on Raw.
Maybe, a one-off match with John Cena or Shawn Michaels, but that's about it.

I don't see why people are soo certain he's going to lose to Edge. Is it because Edge is on Smackdown and there without a champion? If that's the case. Cena could still win and by some unforeseen angle wind up on Smackdown. Which, is what I think will happen. Cena wins, and Vicky Guerrero decides to ship him off to Smackdown.

I honestly believe Orton will win the title at Backlash somehow and Punk will cash in against him. It makes sense given how Punk's first world title run was ended. Triple H/Orton/Batista or any combination thereof can then continue without the belt, which it should have been in the first place.

...why in all blue HELLS would they release Hornswoggle? He gets bigger pops than most of the main eventers and can get pretty much anyone else over simply by proxy.
